WHAT IS GROWTH TRACK

From receiving to giving

Ever wondered what Ignite Church is all about? Do you have questions about God or want to discover how you can serve and make a difference? Growth Track is designed to help you discover God, learn more about Ignite, understand how God has uniquely designed you, and take practical steps toward using your gifts to serve others.

Who’s it for?

Growth Track is required for anyone who wants to serve on an Ignite team and is highly encouraged for everyone who considers Ignite their church community.

Before you start

You'll need two free accounts: Teachable, where you’ll complete the course content, and Church Center, where you’ll register and track your journey.

HOW IT WORKS

A four-week hybrid course

Self-paced content

All four tracks are available on Teachable. Once your cohort begins, you can work through the course content at your own pace within the cohort schedule.

To complete Growth Track, you must watch all required videos and complete the quizzes for each track.

Two in-person sessions

You’ll meet with your facilitator and cohort twice during Growth Track: once around the halfway point and once at the end for discussion, reflection, and review.

Both sessions are required to complete Growth Track.

INSIDE THE COURSE

The Four Tracks

TrackONE
Discover God Again

A magnifying globe highlighting a treeline.

Everyone was born with a space for God in their hearts and minds. Everyone has the desire to know and feel known by God. As we grow up, however, this can become tainted by how sometimes even well-meaning people in faith express this God to us.

TrackONE is about stepping away from our biases, experiences and everything we think we know, and rediscovering the truth about God, what He wants, how He thinks, who we are to Him and where we fit in His plan.

TrackTWO
Discover Ignite Church

Group of seven diverse young adults jumping in front of a storefront with large windows and brick walls, smiling and enjoying themselves.

TrackTWO introduces you to the mission, vision, values, and ministry of Ignite Church and helps you discover how to connect, belong, and become part of the community.

TrackTHREE
Discover the Leader in You

TrackTHREE helps you understand what it means to become a servant leader and how your character, personality, gifts, and experiences can be developed for God’s purposes. You’ll explore how God has uniquely designed you and begin identifying where your gifts may be best used in ministry.

TrackFOUR
Discover How to Make a Difference

A long staircase surrounded by grass on either side.

TrackFOUR helps you connect your God-given gifts with practical opportunities to serve at Ignite, make a difference in the lives of others, and begin living out your purpose through service.

FAQS

  • Yes. All four tracks live on Teachable, so you'll need a free account there to watch the videos and take the quizzes. When your cohort opens we'll send you a link to set one up if you don't have one already. It only takes a minute, and you'll use the same account for the whole course.

  • Yes, and it does a different job. Church Center is where you sign up for a cohort and where your progress through the Faith Journey is recorded, so your facilitator can see where you are and follow up. Teachable holds the course itself. You'll need both.

  • Growth Track runs once a quarter, so there are stretches between cohorts. If you land on the sign-up and there's no cohort open, you'll see a short interest form instead. Fill it in and we'll email you a sign-up link as soon as the next one opens.

  • Growth Track picks up after the first steps of the Faith Journey, so you need to have taken Rooted and made your decision to follow Jesus first. If you're not sure where you are, take a look at the Faith Journey page; it walks through the four stages and it only takes a moment. If there's a step to take before Growth Track, we'll point you to it.

  • There are two, and both held in the Growth Track office with your facilitator and the rest of your cohort. One happens at the halfway point and one at the end for review. Dates are set per cohort, so check your group event calendar (on Church Center) for the details. If you can't find it, message your facilitator.

  • Both sessions are required to complete Growth Track, so if you know in advance that you can't make one, tell your facilitator as early as you can.
